Get Free Credit Reports for the Holiday Season 2004

Beginning on December 1st residents in western states will be able to order a free credit report from the big three credit reporting bureaus. Each credit bureau eventually will set up a Web site, a toll-free phone number and a mailing address for people to request reports. The free consumer credit reports are required under the consumer-privacy legislation President Bush signed into law last December.
